Chilled Out Meetups is one of Leeds biggest groups organising social events for 18 to 38 year olds. First time here? See information for new members by clicking this link.
Our events include an organised walk every other week (over summer), coffee and drinks socials, women-only events and one off visits to destinations in Leeds and sometimes further out. We also run 'one off' events from time to time, and hope to add more types of activities in future.
Are you in charge of a venue or other potential event destination? We'd love to hear from you about working together to put on a Meetup. In return for a space, we can offer a large group of new customers and potentially repeat business in the form of one our regular events. Feel free to send us a message.
ORGANISERS WANTED - Our group is co-owned equally by its organisers. Most decisions are made by organizers giving unanimous approval. If you're interested in running events let us know, no matter what type of event you want to do - remember as an organiser you decide the time, place and activity.
We are fully committed to everyone feeling safe and secure at events so there will be zero tolerance for any harassment, unwanted attention or any other disrespectful behavior. This is a space without any kind of prejudice including racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia etc. and this includes 'jokes' and 'memes', please take it elsewhere. We may organise women-only events - if this is a problem then this isn't the right group for you.
You can make a donation to the group here.
If you treat others with kindness and use some common sense you should get along fine here, but if you'd like to check our rules you can see them here.
Our financials are kept open for public viewing. You can see the ledger here.

This is a no pressure club, you’re invited to bring a book you’re currently reading.

Restaurant: Maki & Ramen (special RSVP rules - read description)
Maki & Ramen Leeds, 32 Bond St, LS1 5BQ, Leeds, GBSpace for this event is very limited so special RSVP rules apply. If you'd like to attend:
- Join the Waitlist
- Members will manually be moved to Going based on their track record of turning up to events they RSVPed to and following other group rules. Because of this, someone who joined the waitlist after you may be prioritised.
- If you change your mind update your RSVP at least 24 hours before the start of the event. You will not be able to change your RSVP in the last 24 hours before the event - this is to give enough time for someone else to take your slot.

Do you ever see those shorts of delicious food being served at Japanese ramen and sushi bars? Maki & Ramen recreates the feel of back alley ramen bar right here in Leeds.

Vegan, veggie and halal are catered for. The Hell Ramen looks like a highlight to me but you do you - sushi, gyozas and fried cutlets are some of the options available.
